Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk.

a wonderful cozy fantasy!

This novel reminded me of Olivia Atwater’s books, only more scientific. The setting/scenery was magical. However the best part by far was Bambleby. His inclusion brought some needed humor. I would read countless books about him. Can’t wait for the sequel!

incomprehensible in the best possible way
Revisado: 07-01-23
I’ve listened to this book twice and I know there are still so many things I missed. The writing is layered and everything has a purpose. I missed Gideon’s humor, but Harrow is such a complicated and interesting character. Being in her head was quite a trip 😉 Also Moira Quirk should narrate everything.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

This book is wildly confusing, dark, heartbreaking, and hilarious! I love Gideon so much! I’ve never read anything like the Locked Tomb series. Moira Quirk is also the best narrator and just adds so much to the writing.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes best-selling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

psa: don’t read this at the beach
Revisado: 07-01-23
Contemporary romance and I don’t usually get along, but this book is the exception. Beach Read is not a light summer story like the title and cover portray. It’s a emotional journey through grief with a side of romance (don’t get me wrong, Gus and January’s relationship is absolutely wonderful!!!) January’s internal turmoil hit close to home and will be sticking with me for a long time. The ending had me sobbing. Julia Whelan is also a gem and I love her narration!

There is a wild man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. Tobias, tethered to the forest, does not dwell on his past life, but he lives a perfectly unremarkable existence with his cottage, his cat, and his dryads. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. Old secrets better left buried are dug up, and Tobias is forced to reckon with his troubled past - both the green magic of the woods and the dark things that rest in its heart.

I can’t think of a story that sums up who I am as a reader better than the Greenhollow duology. The whimsical/dreamy setting is unmatched. I fell in love with these heartfelt characters and their world.

The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers - not for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives. Instead, Orquídea is transformed into a ceiba tree, leaving them with more questions than answers.

"I am sure that every evil man believes himself to be charitable," she told him. "In that respect, at least, you are a true Englishman."
The perfect mixture of Howl’s Moving Castle and Pride & Prejudice! How could it be anything but 5 stars?! This best book I’ve read this year by far; I’ve already listened to it 2x this past month.

Gadriel, the fallen angel of petty temptations, has a bit of a gambling debt. Fortunately, her angelic bookie is happy to let her pay off her debts by doing what she does best: All Gadriel has to do is tempt miserably sinless mortal Holly Harker to do a few nice things for herself. What should be a cakewalk of a job soon runs into several roadblocks, however, as Miss Harker politely refuses every attempt at temptation from Gadriel the woman, Gadriel the man, and Gadriel the adorable fluffy kitten.

I’m so blessed that I discovered Olivia Atwater’s novels this year. I’m 100% her target audience. Small Miracles is whimsical in the best way and reminiscent of Good Omens. The writing is humorous and heartfelt at the same time. Rafe Beckley did a great job as narrator too!
